I’ve got a mate who’s nearly 30 now, to be honest he’s not a great looking bloke but more importantly he’s had no experience with girls ever, which [stinks] cause he’s genuinely a great dude and maintains friendships with some girls, but he tends to friend zone himself before asking one out, he’s suffered pretty hardcore anxiety and depression and hates going out, so this year at my birthday, one of the only events hell come out for cause he’s a great bloke and knows it means a lot to me, I asked a couple of random girls if I could shout them a drink and they could just compliment my mate on something and have a small chat, no obligation to be anything but just polite and nice, and my lord he’s been a different dude ever since, his confidence has skyrocketed, he’s even asking when we’re going out next. If he ever found out what I did I genuinely think he would never leave the house again.
